Fantastic attorney.

Mr Plott and his staff are not only outstanding professionals, but they actually care about you as a person. Mr Plott helped me through a traffic violation that they ended up dismissing because of him and went above and beyond and im very grateful. I would happily encourage anyone who needs help with... his expertise to not hesitate to call. They are a wonderful team!

Excellent Lawyer

I received an illegal possession of alcohol charge facing a maximum penalty of jail time. Mr Plott represented me very well and was able to talk the judge into dropping the charge if I completed a class and probation. He's a very nice guy and can give a lot of insight on the legal system. I highly re...commend him to anyone in search of a lawyer.

Unbelievable.

This man won our case AGAINST the police department in 2013. Anyone who knows anything about anything knows that's not easy. Even if the officers are in the wrong. He really cared about my family and i, was considerate to the fact I was pregnant at the time and went to bat for us. He believed in o...ur case and we believe in him. He's an amazing lawyer, a sweet person and I have recommended him to two friends thus far. Thank you, Stephen. We haven't forgotten you. ❤ -Violetta & Jason

Absolute Professional

Have known Steve and Heather for a while on a personal level. Never needed an attorney until now. Knowing his integrity, honesty and professionalism, making an appointment with him for a personal matter was a no-brainer. His time that he spent with me was invaluable. He was very thorough with hi...s review of my matter and offered advice that definitely protected me and was in my best interest. He and Heather make an perfect team. They are very passionate as to what they do and they take the time treat you like an individual, not just a customer, like some bigger law firms do. Hoping I won't need another attorney in the future, but If I do, Steve Plott will be the one I will be calling.

Protective order

I hired Mr. Plott to represent me against an emergency personal protective order that was taken out against me. I provided Mr. Plott with videos from my security cameras proving my location and activity. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Plott advised me to say nothing. On hearing day, four “witnesses” testi...fied against me claiming everything from staring at a second story window, to loitering as well as being “nonsensical” and having “mental health issues”. Mr. Plott let all that go without challenging it. My videos were played for the judge, however he couldn’t link the fact that my videos placed me in a different location other than what the affidavit claimed. I was ruled against and a six month protective order was issued against me. Mr Plott immediately told me to appeal the ruling which I did. The appeal was scheduled for two month later. On appeal day, it was pushed back an additional four months with justification provided to me. During these months waiting, I provided Mr. Plotts office with additional videos to strengthen my case. I did not hear from Mr Plott during this six months other than to push a security bond which I rejected each time he brought it up. On appeal day, I asked Mr. Plott if had the additional videos and he replied no. During the appeal, things again didn’t go well and a second judge disregarded the video/affidavit discrepancy and extended the protective order for two years. I feel II was cheated out of justice and lost my rights for two years on a case that should’ve been won.
